This sounds like you must have a MII crossmember installed to high. Is removing the motor mounts and installing taller ones out of the question? In the front of your present oil pan there is very little clearance between the pan and the crankshaft.

check an early chevelle pan [64-72].chevelles has a full crossmember under the front of the pan.I know when installing a small block or big block in a chevelle that the proper pan must be used.Good Luck.

You could go down and price out another oil there is ones where the dip is in the back you will just need to change your oil sump, but that is no big deal. Just check first to see if the oil pan with the dip in the back is going to hit your stearing assembly i had that problem before. good luck
